Lore & Background

In the Thorn timeline, during Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Michael causes a citywide blackout and massacres the town's police force and some civilians before being shot by the state police and falling down a mine shaft. In Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, Michael is eventually subdued by Loomis and taken to the local police station, but a mysterious 'Man in Black' kills the officers and frees him. In the Blumhouse timeline, after being shot by Loomis in the original film, Michael fled to his childhood home and was arrested by the Haddonfield police. Forty years later, he escapes Smith's Grove Sanitarium and returns to Haddonfield for another killing spree. In Halloween Kills, as Michael resumes his killing spree, the enraged townspeople form a mob to hunt him down.

The Haddonfield Police Department operates under a traditional chain of command led by a Chief of Police. In the Thorn timeline, after the events of Halloween 4, the state police are called in to shoot Michael. In Halloween 5, the local police station is breached by the Man in Black, who kills the officers and frees Michael. In the Blumhouse timeline, the Haddonfield police arrest Michael after the original film's events and hold him at Smith's Grove Sanitarium for forty years.
